Concept
I keep daily notes on the things and events that pique my interest, using those words as a foundation for constructing my compositions. I am particularly inspired by human interaction and the feelings that arise from it. Much of my focus is on negative aspects: the obstacles and frustrations that occur between myself and others, the sorrow and pain, and the inner secrets that remain hidden during communication. When translating these themes onto the canvas, I replace them with animals, plants, or objects. By painting these subjects in a pop style to create a visual contrast, I explore new narratives that feel unsettled yet somehow humorous.
